What is 25 percent of eighty?

When you find a percent of a number, multiply the number by the percent written as a decimal. Twenty-five percent is 0.25, so twenty-five percent of eighty is 0.25 × 80 = 20. An easy way to see it is that 25% is a quarter, and a quarter of eighty is eighty ÷ 4 = 20. The other options don't match twenty-five percent: ten is 12.5% of eighty, twenty-five is 31.25% of eighty, and sixty is 75% of eighty. So the result is 20.
